Thanks friend, the information was very useful. But I require certain more information on the points as under:-

1) I have a spare dish antenna of 60 cm(DISH TV) antenna which is based on old alignment technique.( i will upload the photo of same on saturday). Can i use this dish primarily for ABS-1.

2) Which LNB and set top box will i have to buy and how much will this cost. Can a free to air STB serve the purpose or I have to buy a STB like the one dish tv provides and also the cost of Magnetic Compass for finding angle. as I am nt having a andriod phone.

3) Is the elevation angle provided by the Dish pointer pro accurate. I have one doubt as i have seen the elevation angle for my location as they have described that the angle will be 26-30 deg less than this value for offset dish antenna.

Please clarify the points.
Thanks and Regards
